Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.

Disney Cruise Line announce that their newest ship, the Disney Adventure, will have not one, not two, but three attractions including their first ever roller coaster at sea. And if we weren’t excited before, we are now.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 years since the launch of Disney+.

Back then, it was seen as a great value in the world of streaming with access to the entire Disney vault for the low price of $6.99/month.

And while it launched to great fanfare (and the debut of the Mandalorian) it’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride since.

So this week we take a look back at the history of Disney+ and the shifting strategies Disney has taken to try and make it profitable.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.

Just as you can count on the leaves changing for Fall, you can count on Disney World to raise ticket prices. This week Disney World announced price increases for all levels of their annual pass.

But hey, at least they also announced Satu’li Canteen is going to start service breakfast. So we guess it isn’t all bad.

We’d all love to spend the whole day in the parks, but what if your time was limited?

Maybe you only have a few hours.

Well you’re in luck, because on today’s show we’re walking through our perfect day at each Disney World park if we only had 4 hours.

What are the must ride attractions? The shows we would prioritize? The food we would eat?

Plus, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try the 4 park challenge we offer our tips and tricks for making the most of the experience.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.

We finally have a date for when parts of Dinoland will start closing for its conversion to Tropical Americas. Plus Big Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom is getting a year long overhaul and Brooks announced a major partnership with RunDisney.

Seeing as it’s Halloween this week, we are discussing the history of the holiday in the parks.

Plus, what sounded like a good idea at the time, we show up in costume.

While Halloween is big business at Disney now, it wasn’t always that way. In fact, most of what you know and love about Halloween time in the parks came around within the past 20 years.
